Hi Ken,
Thanks Alex
I'll copy and paste that into my Rev tips file, so I remember it's a
parameter name. I still do not understand how pWhich can tell that
I've
picked a menu item like Quit (or Open, or anything else).
So, how does a pWhich identify what's been picked? (you see the
dimensions
of my ignorance).
well that's the way the engine has been programmed :-)
The engine is always waiting in the background for something (an
event) to happen,
Rev is an "event driven" application.
One of the events might be a simple mouseclick and even there it
awaits a parameter
-> the number of the mousebutton that has been clicked 1 = left
mousebutton,
2 = middle mousebutton and 2 = right mousebutton) if "mouseup" does
not come
with a parameter, the engine presume that it was a "normal" (= 1 =
left) mouseclick.
Or the event might be a "menupick"!
In this case the enigne knows that one parameter will "accompany"
the message
"menupick" -> the actual name of the menu that the user has picked.
So "pWhich" is just a placeholder and could also be named "Ken" or
even "Ethel_Merman",
that really does not matter, since it will be replace with the actual
name... see above.
I hope these metaphores will clear things a bit :-)
There are many build-in events like mouseup,mousedown, opencard,
openstack,
scrollbardrag etc... all of which might come with one or more
parameters or not.
...
regards
Ken
